For MAC users this time

Here are a few links that I got from different people. Good to learn that there are a few people who read my blog. (I thought I was wasting my time on it) But now I think at least 5 people read it(excluding me, of course :) )
Anyway here are the links:

http://bestmactricks.blogspot.com/ - Some goods tips they say
http://www.osxfaq.com/tutorials/LearningCenter/ - Start using the console, starts from basics (good for linux users as well)
http://www.macinstruct.com/ - Some really simple tutorial / FAQ
http://refit.sourceforge.net/ - Bored of pressing Options button (I guess, don't remember) while booting to choose the OS you boot? Try refit bootloader, it should work
http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorials/ - A picture's worth a thousand words they say. What about a video?? All tutorials in videos
http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/Installing - Install WINE (Wine Is Not Emulator) and run your windows applications on Mac. They say Wine is more XP compatible than Vista and that FIFA 08 runs better on WINE than on Vista.

Post your favourite Mac related site in the comments. I wan to learn more about it.

Here are two good websites:

1. www.g2p.org
Uses the google at its max, you can find all the songs, books and software you are looking for without much hassle. Instead of running behind torrents, limewire, ares, shareaza or going to esnips and rapidshare and trying to find those files, just type the name, select the type ad you will have it. I tried it, it's great. I tried to search a few songs (hindi, english and telegu) and they were there on the first link itself.

2. www.giveawayoftheday.com
This is a site you should see everyday. Just like the name says, it gives away different costly software for free.
www.giveawayoftheday.com
These links are also present at my delicious

A few good things

Here are a few good sites:

1. http://www.paulgraham.com/
2. http://words4mind.blogspot.com/
3. http://www.gnucitizen.org/
4. http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/hide-files-inside-of-jpeg

A lovely article. Anyone who wants to become an entrepreneur most read this.

Here's something interested. May be some of you have heard of it. GIFAR, it is a new type of file, that the creative BlackHats came up with. It's a jar embedded in gif image. What's so special about it? Well, someday you will see me giving the address of my orkut (which doesn't yet exist) and you may happily visit it. You'll see some lovely images jumping around. But all those lovely images jumping (the gif files) will actually be jar files, copying your orkut, yahoo passwords, downloading trojans to your computer and stuff without you knowing. You will smile thinking after so many words, he bent down and started using orkut without realising you just lost all your data.

Can I do this? May be not. I don't know enough to program something to do that. But be careful with the sites you will be visiting. Especially the crack, torrent and ???? sites.

I know, some of you have already started thinking how to make a gifar. Here's a video on that:
http://riosec.com/how-to-create-a-gifar
That video uses linux, but a little knowledge of dos commands and the fourth link is all you will need. It also shows how to add the jar file to a docx file, it should work with a doc, odt files as well. I think it will work with any file that is based on zip. Keep trying.
The thing I like about GIFAR is it embeds a Java ARchive, thus it is platform independent.
A lot of votes are coming for Hacking & stuff, but for some reason, I hesitate to write on that topic.
